If National wins ...

This is borrowed from from Keeping Stock

Greenpeace is going to Court to try and stop Anadarko drilling off the Raglan coast.

"We find this a trifle ironic. Greenpeace has no faith in the Russian justice system to fairly try the Arctic 30, but it has every faith in the New Zealand legal system to intervene where its protests and media manipulation have failed. Then of course there's the fact that whilst Greenpeace is asking a New Zealand court for a legal ruling in its favour its activists are repeatedly and flagrantly breaking New Zealand law by breaching the 500m exclusion zone around Anadarko's drilling site. That suggests that Greenpeace is only interested in the law when it works in Greenpeace's favour.

Pardon us Greenpeace, but your hypocrisy is showing..."

Oh so true.

Which is pretty much why I didn't renew my greenpeace membership many moons ago.

I'm not a fan of political organisations that only like democracy when it's on their side.

This is an interesting perspective, regarding encouraging manufacturing in the regions. It'll be interesting to see if either of the major parties have a close look at the ideas.

Cuzzie, a bit more about the current account. I'm still looking for the Capital Account chart. Labour repaid old govt debt at about the same rate that the domestic economy went more into debt, during Labour's three terms.

elZorro, no mention of National paying back any debt, is that just convenience on your part or are you suggesting that they have not paid any of Labours huge spending and Dr Cullen's massive epic fail gambling our money on the equities market & loosing it all? You would be wrong.

[Cuzzie]

Hmmm interesting question, I think I'll pass on what the Greens thought of that with this link here: https://www.greens.org.nz/speeches/labours-super-gamble-costs-315m The Greens were not happy with Labour then too. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to find that link belgarion. BTW, had you forgot about this, because it was big news at the time? Labour and Greenies have locked horns plenty of times in the past, do you think they will kiss and make up? Nope, not even close.

Beautiful timing if you support National, check this out: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/ar...ectid=11163597
Fair enough too, R.N has made a bigger enough fool out of himself, time for the next mug.

Cuzzie, I think the Cullen Fund, and any other fund investing overseas in the 2000's, would have done well up until 2008. Even better if they also bought in near the bottom after the GFC. I can't see how a temporary "paper loss" translates into "Epic Fail". I bet the figures are the opposite of what you claim - they've been excellent stewards of the funds.

Russel Norman is fairly safe there.

I would be more worried about Key.s moves to have the Conservative party on side. They appear to have some strange ideas when their leader is an admirer of Sarah Palin and her Tea Party. Bigger threat than any Labour Green alliance.

Your "think" is no basis for an argument. BTW your thought is no way to quote a fact.

It does not matter if Russel Norman is safe or not, what matters is there is diversion in the ranks of the far left party the loony left hope to partner up with. I like that.
